Hi All

Just thought I would give me experience on the GPRS issue.

Picked up my N900 yesterday - absolutely love it! Coming from HTC Tytn, you can imagine the difference. (although do have N800, so used to N900 already).

So, at the bus stop this morning standing 30 meters from a mobile tower and I had 2g reception with 1 bar, then I lost connection altogether. This made me think the phone call be faulty.

On the bus, whilst sitting in traffic, I had 3.5g. Downloaded and installed OMWeather, countdown and message viewer. So thinking maybe not a faulty phone but software issue?

Then when I got to work, sitting in the coffee shop reasonably near a cell tower - I had a steady 3g signal and has been for the past few hours.

The only things I did to my phone was to turn off automatic search of WLAN.

Therefore, I'm hoping that the issue could be a firmware/software one.

I'm not techy, I don't really know how these things work but thought I would share experience to try to balance the faulty phone assumption.

ps. was slightly annoyed at no Exchange2003 support out-of-the-box, though am I right in assuming this is coming?
